What this report cannot tell you
| Gap |
|---|
| licence titles in this scope — none matched 'Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers', though it is licensed in 50 jurisdictions nationally. The title differs locally, or the record is held municipally. |
| occupation mix for NAICS 333242 — the labour statistics carry no rows at this level, so everything about occupations here, including the defining occupation and its licence gate, is measured at NAICS 333000, a broader grouping. Establishment counts are for 333242 itself. |
| licence coverage — the register holds 54 of 56 US licensing jurisdictions, and 2,504 of its records carry no jurisdiction at all. A count of 50 is out of 54 searched, not out of 56. The unsearched jurisdictions are not evidence of no licence. |
